The Philadelphia Phillies finished the 2024 season with a record of 95 wins and 67 losses which was good enough to win the National League East.
Although the regular season was a success for the Phillies, they lost their first postseason series to the New York Mets in the National League Division Series.
After making the National League Championship Series in both the 2022 and 2023 seasons, the Phillies had somewhat of a disappointing postseason in 2024.
Now that the season has concluded, the Phillies will have their eyes on the free-agent market.
Phillies General Manager Preston Mattingly revealed his thoughts on this off-season’s free-agent market.
“There’s a lot of guys on the open market that could improve our roster,” Mattingly said.

Mattingly describes being very optimistic about the Phillies roster heading into 2025 and specifically names their starting rotation.
A couple of areas that Mattingly says could be addressed include their bullpen and their outfield.
The Phillies will be looking to improve their roster this offseason, and Mattingly appears to be willing to pursue some free agents if they will give the Phillies a better chance to win.
Juan Soto headlines the free agent class this offseason, and it will be interesting to see if the Phillies pursue him for their outfield corps next season.
The Phillies have not won a World Series since 2008, although they lost the World Series in 2009 and 2022.
With a lineup full of big-time talent including Bryce Harper, Trea Turner, and Kyle Schwarber, the Phillies appear like they will be World Series contenders again in 2025.
